Writing a book is so linear, and the web is not. I've tried on so many occasions to apply what I used to do around writing guides and training material for these very comprehensive systems. I know, and have heard many times from people, how intimidating and overwhelming all the options, buttons, links, and features are of these social media platforms. The world changes fast, and look how fast these things have grown - Facebook - Twitter - MySpace.  When doing your life, your day-job, and keeping up with the priorities and demands, getting the gist of all this is a little too much for many.

After fielding so many questions, hearing so many comments, as part of so many conversations with clients and people online, the decision was made to launch a simple social media video segment that addresses more the fundamentals of social media and networking, versus all the technical aspects. Instead, many glimpses and tricks will be covered, and more of the why, what-for, and how-to stuff will show you what you need to know to get the best use out of it without wasting quite so much effort. More importantly, you'll be able to begin to relax and enjoy social media.

PS - a book is coming. And it will probably be linear. :)
